Shivering In The Dark

A wet Green Tree Python in the Reptopia. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

Its tank had just been misted and this python had quickly parked itself near the spot light for warmth.

This was captured at the time when I was trying out a 70-200mm f/4 lens stacked with a 1.4x and 2x teleconverters some years back. The takeaways then was that the depth-of-field had narrowed down considerably with resolution holding on quite well. Auto-focus still worked since a mirrorless camera was used. With a DSLR, it would’ve been likely only manual focussing.

Things I did not previously know: the white spots. They exist and cluster along the topline. Also they have a stripe on their face that's sort of. De-yellowed?

// Response to this.

Heed the tags of the original post, (read the tags,) + vomiting and panic attacks.

It burns.

It burns. It burns, it burns it burns everything burns-

F̴r̴o̴s̴t̴ Flames scorch his lungs, the smoke and soot rendering them useless as he attempts to gasp for air. His breaths come in short gasps- violent coughs punctuating each one afterwards.

The cushions are squeezed onto for dear life as he flails around- ash and smoke blocking out his vision. Something's loud- screaming. Something's screaming.

Screams fill the surrounding area- louder and louder as the seconds tick by. He thrashes around, trying to reach out, grasp at someone- something- himself, his throat- anything to make the burning stop-

A frozen claw wraps around his arm, the frigid, icy claws of Death itself, about to tear him away from his own f̴r̴o̴z̴e̴n̴ charred body...

...

No.

It was metal.

Paris stills, hacking once again before taking a deep breath. The first one he had managed. He blinks a few times, hot tears clouding his vision further...

Gilgamesh stood above him, chattering anxiously as he gently lowered Paris' arm. Paris stared up at the Bisharp, his senses starting to clear. The screaming had stopped, his own mouth closing. Was he- had he been screaming?

The nausea hits him like a wave. He lurches forward, a burning sensation rising up his throat-

...

He realizes why he couldn't see earlier.

Paris groans as the pain in his head finally registers, recoiling almost instinctively. His temples throb as he lays back down, slightly propping himself up against the armrest.

Paris feels something warm press up against his chest. Bringing a hand down, he can feel a familiar softness. A welcome comfort, especially after what he had just witnessed- dreamt..?

He takes deep, stuttering breaths. His lungs still burn, but he can properly breathe again despite it. He squeezes his eyes shut, trying to ignore or dull the incessant throbbing of his skull. It's like he had hit something- hard, at that. He knows there's pain medication somewhere in the house, but he doesn't trust himself enough to stand up and get it.

...Plus, there was no reason to move. He absentmindedly stroked the soft fur, slowly distracting himself from everything going on around him.

...

When had he fallen asleep in the first place? It was dark- too dark. It must've been late at night, already...

He can't even begin to imagine how late he is to work. But he's still in too much pain- he couldn't go even if he wanted to.

...

"...why do I even bother..?"

[subjectively-incorrect]

tell us what your thoughts are on the whole project MV thing is, and the people behind it. Lets see your analysis :3

I've given many of my thoughts already. Check my tagged posts.

In short:

The Dog is.. dangerous. Projects an image of fun and uncaring, but it's clear that isn't the case. The rest of the internet doesn't seem to care. (Are they idiots? Or am I missing something?) Oddly, he seems to have been exposed as a means of further hurting the Snake. It doesn't appear to have worked.

The Snake. Fairly clear cut. Enacting vigilante justice and a repeat murderer. Clearly has an extensive history with the Fox that I haven't looked into yet.

The Fox is unwell. Has a deep hatred for the Snake, and submits to suicidal ideation. Supposedly will create more games for us, so we have that to look forward to.

Nokia is doing exactly as she's told. Perhaps the only true victim in it all. I try not to get attached but I was somewhat relieved to learn she will not be modified.

Green python (Morelia viridis) for pixeljoint collab ,Animal Atlas'-realism, even relaxed one, is pretty hard for me but for my first attempt at one in pixel art it is good enough for now, I think. I did learn a lot.

🐍🐍| Hellaina is a picky muse who's taken a year but I finally know what sort of snake she is!

Hellaina's snakes are a green tree python (Morelia viridis): they are a constrictor species who tend between five and seven feet when fully grown. The females tend to be a bit bigger and heavier than the male snakes, and this species is primarily arboreal.

She might not be venomous but that doesn't make her any less dangerous!

"A PICNIC TABLE?" DUDE please like just look at it and blur your eyes a bit maybe you'll see or maybe youre too used to what is ACTUALLY in the picture 😭 i really went and sentenced myself to public blast for that

retaliation! before i go to sleep I will bombard you with all random questions that come to me in this ask

what's your preferred time of day and why? most reliable water sources? how do you usually deal with most common threats you encounter in the bush? which kind of snake would you call the least dangerous? if you could forever abolish one animal from existence, which would it be, if any? best fish? worst fish?

thank you (for reading, answering, remaining fascinated and being my curious ass' main source of giddy leg wiggle during the day)

- most annoyingly, 🧀 anon <3 💥💥💥

Thank you for asking, cheeseanon!!! I really enjoy these. I normally live out in the bush and even in California I live in a rural area so I don't have many neighbours (and those that do know me as that Weird Aussie Bloke that disappeared for 3 years).

What's your preferred time of day and why?

Night! Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night. I absolutely love the stars. My second-favourite time of day is dawn when the kookaburras wake up.

Most reliable water sources?

There's no reliable water sources in the Outback. I collect my water from rain tarps (which I can drink straight) and clear streambeds (which I have to boil before drinking). I have one canteen specifically for collecting water and another for carrying purified water when I'm travelling. Sometimes soakage from native wells is the only way of obtaining water but I've only had to do this a few times.

How do you usually deal with common threats out in the bush?

Staying in Matilda/under shelter during the hottest parts of the day, since the environment itself is the greatest threat in the Outback. As far as living threats go, it usually involves screaming. I've run my voice hoarse through shouting at dingos because they very much hate noise and are generally skittish around people. When necessary I might fire a warning shot into the dirt to make them keep their distance and this usually works. I've only ever had one actually bite me, and that was a lone female with pups (judging by the condition of her teats) who wanted my food. We tussled on the ground for a bit with her teeth locked around my ankle (thank Christ for my leather boots), I cut her foreleg with my knife, and she scurried off. She came back an hour later and decided I was still worth the risk of being killed over, so I took a potshot between her legs to make her keep her distance and chucked her the back half of a rabbit which she scurried off with. Normally I wouldn't recommend feeding the wildlife since it can make them dependent on people which puts people and the animal in danger, but we were in an area with very few humans so it's unlikely she'd ever encounter one again. To her I was a big prey animal and worth the risk to feed her pups. Mutual respect between us and she learned her lesson I reckon.

On the downside, I needed a new pair of jeans because her teeth ripped right through the hem.

What kind of snake would you consider the least dangerous?

The dead kind. That's a joke. Please don't kill snakes, they're really neat and are much more afraid of you than you are of them. Additionally you're much more likely to get bit trying to kill or move a snake than you are just letting him go on his way. I'd reckon that any small nonvenomous snake isn't dangerous. Typically anything in Colubridae is safe. Small, non-dangerous species include:

Green tree snake, Dendrelaphis punctulatus

Common keelback, Tropidonophis mairii

Green tree python, Morelia viridis (they're arseholes though)

Brahminy blind snake, Indotyphlops braminus (invasive)

Woma python, Aspidites ramsayi

Northern green tree snake, Dendrelaphis calligaster

Elephant trunk snake, Acrochordus arafurae (these guys are really neat!)

Pygmy python, Antaresia perthensis

Crab-eating snake, Fordonia leucobalia

Marine file snake, Acrochordus granulatus (really neat)

Bockadam, Cerberus australis

Rough-scaled python, Morelia carinata

Papuan spotted python, Antaresia papuensis

Every blind snake in the genus Anilios

Australia has ~140 species of land snakes and ~30 species of sea snakes. Basically all our sea snakes are highly venomous and can kill you. Of our land snakes, ~100 are venomous. That means roughly 75% of Australian snakes are venomous. That said, the majority of these have venom so insignificant that it can't harm people. Most people won't even realise they've been bitten. So why didn't I count the "harmless" venomous species? People can have allergies! What might bite me and not have any effect could bite you and give you a fatal arrhythmia if you're allergic to the venom. Assume all snakes are dangerous and give them all a wide berth unless you can 100% confirm that they won't harm you. EVERY SNAKE IS THE FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT VARIETY.

If you could abolish any animal from existence, what would it be?

Mozzies. I fucking hate mozzies with a burning passion. They gave my dad malaria twice and nearly killed him the second time. Additionally I'm type O (universal donor) which, just so happens, mozzies fucking love. I get SWARMED. I'm constantly covering myself, my clothes, and Misty in permethrin just to keep ticks off us (and this comes from somebody who fucking hates synthetic chemicals). I don't need to deal with mozzies too.

From an ecological standpoint, FUCKING CARP. I HATE CARP SO GODDAMN MUCH. YOU THINK CANE TOADS ARE BAD? NO! WELL THEY ARE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUCKING WORSE? CARP. THEY HAVE RUINED THE MURRAY-DARLING BASIN AND ITS WATERWAYS. WE HAVE LOST 90% OF OUR NATIVE SPECIES' TERRITORY TO INVASIVE FUCKING CARP. IMAGINE THAT. THE SANCTITY OF AUSTRALIA, OUR AMAZING MURRAY COD, LOST TO FUCKING GOLDFISH. I HATE CARP WITH A BURNING FUCKING PASSION OH MY GOD DON'T EVEN GET ME FUCKING STARTED--

Best fish?

Barramundi. I fucking love barra. They're delicious, they're incredibly fun to catch, they're absolutely massive so I guarantee you'll not go hungry. I love barra.

Worst fish?

FUCKING CARP.
